While recovering from the Green Goo Germ, Dr. Wai Smart - assumed name for our fourth grade Future Man of Science - discovers a completely new life form has made its lair under his dresser. Once the initial shock of a speaking, sock stealing ball of fuzz wears off, our hero pulls out his super secret journal and sets aside his science fair project on toe jam to study his new roommate. It doesn't take long to realize that all is not as it first appeared. Can Dr. Wai Smart keep his discovery a secret or will he have to die of embarrassment?

In 2007, while her husband was working in Iraq, Brittney Cassity took up her pencil, paintbrush and commercial art background to create a book for her sons. It centered around the bedtime stories she had been telling them involving the adventures of a rather small dragon. The book born in 2008 from this process and a lot of support from her family was named Fiddlebug and has since touched more children and their parents than could have been guessed when the first words landed on the page. Fiddlebug and his friends are even now giggling their way to future stories that bring families closer and carry sweet dreams to little minds.Then, in 2010, a feisty new character sprang into being in the middle grade chapter book, Clyde the Undead Dust Bunny. Written in her newly acquired tree house studio in the front yard – repurposed the second her boys outgrew it – Clyde firmly settled Brittney’s feet on the writing path. The book also introduced Brittney to a whole new audience and led to the creation of “Kick Starts for Creative Writers”, a six week workshop intended to help reluctant writers find ways to make the blocks dissolve and the process more fun.The Wednesday’s Words Weekly Planner, released in 2011, is an offshoot from a former weekly blog and helps Brittney keep a very busy schedule of homeschooling, writing, illustrating, workshop presentation, school visits, and other special events in order... and in perspective.When she is not happily swimming in the waters of her literary life, Brittney spends her time marveling at her luck in living with one spectacular husband, two phenomenal (and almost grown) sons and a menagerie of furry, four-legged family members in a log cabin on the side of a beautiful West Virginian mountain.

Chapter 1

Sock Stealer

It all started one cold, dreary and stuffy headed Thursday evening. I had been home from school that week because of a nasty germ that made me spray out green stuff every time I sneezed - which seemed to be every other minute. My older sister, Samantha - who had decided sparkling eye shadow was her thing that week and was busy shedding glitter all over everything in the house - had brought home my make-up work as Mom had ordered, so I was using it as an excuse to sneak in some pre-dinner snacking in my room. There I was happily munching on some secret cookies from my hidden stash and trying to decide whether toe jam was a good topic for my science fair project when I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. At first I thought maybe a fleck of dreaded glitter had invaded my room and caught my attention. If it had, I knew that it would be carrying sister cooties and I wanted to make sure it didn’t land. I watched for a minute, tissue in hand, but didn’t see anything else. Maybe I had been wrong.

Sometimes stuffy headed, green goo causing germs will make you see things that aren’t there after all. However, my mental Cootie Threat Alert had been raised, so I scooted around on my bed to face the area of threat head on. No icky girl germs were going to sneak up on me! I was just going to twist the top off of the next cookie when I saw it again. As I watched, the sock I had dropped on the floor a few minutes before so I could
